Sermons on Sin

The Exchange

Thank you for joining us this evening. Good Friday gives us the opportunity to slow down and reflect in the middle of a busy season of celebration. We were made in the image of God and designed for fellowship with him. But sin broke that relationship. We stood as enemies of God, anticipating not only physical death, but judgment and separation from him for eternity. For…

Reaping the Whirlwind

Welcome to Chapel City Church! We are glad that you have come to worship with us this week. We are working our way through the book of Hosea, and we find ourselves in a long section that deals with sin and judgement. It can be tough to linger on portions of scripture that talk about sin, failure, and the way that God disciplines his people. We know that sin is…

Disobedience & Destruction

This week we will continue to move through the book of Hosea. Beginning in chapter 4, we are faced with an extended section that deals with sin and judgment. Our tendency might be to skim over these difficult passages, or maybe to skip them altogether. But why is understanding Israel’s sin important for us today? How do we think about our own sin in light of…

The Case for Condemnation

Good morning and welcome to our time of corporate worship here at Chapel City Church. We are working through the minor prophets this year, beginning with the book of Hosea. God will use the heartbreaking reality of Gomer’s adultery to demonstrate the rebellion of Israel’s idolatry. In chapter 2, God is going to lay out his case against his people. Like a…

Anticipating the Advent: Peace

Good morning, and welcome to our time of worship together here at Chapel City Church. As we light the second advent candle, we are reminded of the theme of peace. We live in a world of conflict. We see it between nations, we see it in the workplace, we see it in our homes, and we find it in our own hearts. The reality is that sin breaks peace. But the strife between…

The Suffering Servant

Welcome to Chapel City Church. We are glad that you have come to worship with us today. Last week, Dr. Behle helped us understand the reality of the cross of Christ. The gospel message continually reminds us that sin has a cost, and that by the grace of God Christ defeated death so that we might live. However, something changes roughly three hours into the crucifixion.…

The King’s Design for Marriage, part 3

Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. As we work through Matthew 19, we are thinking through the King’s design for marriage. The Pharisees challenge Jesus with regard to divorce, but he directs their attention back to a right understanding of marriage. From the beginning, God has designed marriage to be a lifelong covenant between one man and…

Debts & Debtors

Welcome to Chapel City Church! Thank you for joining us as we gather together to worship Jesus Christ, our savior and king. As we have worked through Mathew 18, we have seen disciples compared to children and to sheep. Both of those ought to lead us to live lives of consistent humility. And over the last couple of weeks, we looked at how necessary that humility was as we…

Kingdom Greatness

Good morning and welcome to Chapel City Church! We live in a world that pursues greatness at any cost. Whether it’s the desire to be great in business, great in politics, or great in sports, the draw is always there. As we move into Matthew 18, the disciples ask Jesus what it will mean to be great in the coming kingdom. His answer is not what they were expecting!…

Scorning the Son

Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. We hope that you are encouraged to grow in your faith as we press on toward maturity in Christ together! This week we will look at a passage that many of us are familiar with. The power of Jesus is undeniable, but where does that power come from? The crowds wonder whether he is the Son of David. The Pharisees…

Defeating Death

Welcome to our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. We are so glad that you have joined us today, and we would love to know how we can be praying for you or ministering to you during this time. As we have worked through Matthew 8 and 9, we have seen a pattern develop. Matthew presents a series of miracles followed by a section where people respond to Christ. This…
